David Bote and Rob Zastryzny were briefly promoted from Triple-A Iowa last week as Carl Edwards Jr. and Albert Almora Jr. were placed on the paternity and family emergency lists, respectively.
The Cubs website transactions list indicates that Bote and Rob Z. were optioned to Iowa on Monday, and Edwards was returned to the active roster from the paternity list. Almora can’t be activated until Wednesday, because players on the paternity, family emergency and bereavement lists must spend at least three days on those lists, and Almora wasn’t placed on the list until Sunday.
